Another great video Sean. Very much appreciate all of the insights, Hull No1 of one of the most cutting edge designs produced obviously has some incredible benefits along with the inevitable challenges. I'm certain that you have been prepared all along for these eventualities. Spare parts availability for a 1 of 1 is obviously always going to be the main timesoak, I assume that lead times will always be significant as presumably re-design work will add into the production time as there is no sense in replacing a failed part with an identical possible failure point. Failure mode and effects analysis will give answers as to the cause of the failure and whilst it may be possible to eliminate causes by altering usage i'm happy to see that everyone involved prefers to travel the path of eliminating the possibility of failure once causalities are established. If we know something could fail even if through incorrect or unspecified usage (not the case in your situation) then always best to re-design to account for the possible failure mode. You mention the Camera "arguably working" and the disappointment in the performance of the main horn loudspeaker on the previous episode, Would you be willing to do an episode on your "snags" now you have had some time to use the systems and equipment aboard? IT would be very interesting to see what is performing / working as intended and what items / systems you may replace / redesign or would change if it were an option with the now available hindsight?

Great to see you back producing content Sean, Unfortunate that the issues you are having with Crazy Love are the focus of the Content, I Hope that the team at HH have been proactive and professional in their responses and solutions, I'm sure that having Chris onboard for the repair process provide s much Solace. Do you have any footage of the "nuts and bolts) sorry for the pun of the damaged track / fastener removal? Many thanks for sharing these incredibly difficult and stressful times! Hope to see some operational videos once things are back to shipshape!

Was damaged after the crane was taking off? I think the crane did it while pulling back. 🤔

Very interesting just came across this channel.

Spectacular!

I've enjoyed your vids, any idea when we'll see some serious sea trials? Cheers!

That fly bridge is the bomb. Best set up I have seen for one. Nicely done….

👍

Greetings from South Africa Mitch

One video at a time, you're teaching me more than I'd ever thought I would know about sailing, masts, and cats!! Thanks for sharing your journey. Can't wait to share a bottle of whiskey on the fantail some day!!

You have made the same mistake that many other content creators make. The volume of the background music overwhelms the commentary. You really need no music at all, just let the pictures create the atmosphere.

If I may ask, what were the key drivers for choosing a catamaran over a monohull, always interesting to hear people's different perspectives!

Just came across your channel - what a wonderful project, hope you get in-depth with boat systems and rational for them. Amazing, can't wait to see when you get to sea trials and beyond!

I like your Videos! Enjoy your life style and don‘t care about all the negative comments.

Your sensitivity to the comments posted is unfortunate Thanks for presenting the accumulated data to support your conclusions. Im sure there are -and will be some mysteries (not much is ever 100% clear in this arena) I hope youre enjoying the heck out of your new boat

You are pushing limits and innovating. Pioneers are always catching arrows. Very interesting vessel.

Ignore the haters, it's boring content.

All class…well done.

My guess about the mast damage is because your mast was stuck in Douglas' butt and thats why he's been such a D-bag in the comments

captures your remarkable journey from planning to the open waters, demonstrating your adventurous spirit and dedication. The excitement and uncertainty of navigating such a venture reflect your courage and enthusiasm for embracing new challenges. Your ability to document and share these moments shows your commitment to exploring and understanding every facet of your adventure. And I am Floating Village Life.

"A lion does not concern himself with opinions of a sheep." Who cares about the haters. They are everywhere. Love the videos and your boat man. Such a work of art. Show it in action! 💪

My advice, get out of Raffles ASAP, its lightening alley we were hit twice ;-)

I enjoyed your responses to viewer feedback, what fun would life be without challenging comments from those who are not in the arena. Please continue providing weekly content, yours is as interesting as your vessel is unique. Thanks!

Thanks for another great video. Too bad you are getting a number of bad comments. Perhaps the cable from the crane contacted that patch on the masthead and delaminated a small section. During the Port Huron Mackinac race many years ago we witnessed a lightening strike on Gordon Lightfoot’s Golden Goose yacht built by Vic Carpenter. There was a very loud crack and then a large puff of smoke right at the masthead. All instruments were blown off the top of the mast and all electrical equipment on board was destroyed. We were on a C&C 53 at the time and we sailed over in light wind and offered assistance. Golden Goose asked us to radio race control and advise them that Golden Goose was dropping out of the race. Luckily their motor started and they were not far from there home port of Goderich Ont. After seeing this it is my guess that you didn’t get hit by lightning. Hope things improve for you.

Hard to tolerate stupid trolls on your feed......is there a block feature you could use to make them go away? Glad to see you are getting the time to do more videos, looking forward to more of you really using the boat and all the amazing features with it.....👍🇨🇦

1. It's boat 1 of 1 (so far). So it's essentially a prototype/testbed. 2. It's a performance cruiser so stresses are higher and failures will be more common than on a pure cruiser. 3. Everyone on the internet has an opinion and many are willfully negative to be provoking. Ignore them. Enjoy your beautiful boat and the life it affords you.

Yay! Now that's some of the 5W's! You summed up what's going on with your boat succinctly. Boeing, Quantum Computing, Fusion Power, Space X, Molecular Biology to name only a few employ cutting edge material science to demonstrate and provide evidence of errors. HH is on this path. SO love your boat!

Negative comments, just answer "SHOW ME YOUR BOAT". I hope to see a full walkthrough soon. I have gone through all of the videos and see walkthroughs where everything on the boat was not finished as of yet. The technical walkthrough was AWESOME! Hopefully we see the all areas in detail.

Woof! She’s a beauty 🇿🇦✌🏻

👍

What´s the gross tonnage of the boat?

Great video, thanks for the brief. I have been following since '20, when you started publishing & one thing I noticed - you do not strike me as an idiot... You have done way too much homework through-out the entire build. Mast track - metal fatigue with adhesive behind it; played with too many different types during my time. Should have been a I-Track from the beginning. Looking at the top of the mast where the carbon fabric let go, kind of looks like a torque issue, like it was torn free - a combination of problems? Mast twist & snap when the track let go, like a wet towel snap. All the energy & torque at the end... Like the channel, not leaving as long as you publish. Fair winds....

So you're saying you had corrosion at the top of a brand-new mast? Joking!! Nice to see you back, always have things going on to fix even on a new boat good to have warranties happening.

Love your channel and your yacht. HH's fit and finish are second to none, and it really comes across on video. I love living vicariously through your videos with something i will never be able to accomplish. I'm a big fan.

Your yacht is absolutely stunning and extremely well built by a highly regarded yacht builder. In truth it's the envy of thousands! Including myself haha It's just sad and a reflection on reality that regardless of quality, size, luxury and extreme planning with perfect execution, nature will still give you challenges. As the famous Ned Kelly (Australian outlaw) said the moment prior to his hanging, "Such is Life" Ignore the noise, you know better than anyone what has gone into your yacht, you have nothing left to prove, it's already been proven. Time to enjoy it 🍻🍻

Excellent update. As for a lightning test, the Boston Museum of Science used to have the world's largest Van de Graaff generator. If they still have it, you, or the company, might be able to persuade them to participate in a test. All the best!

Glad to hear from you again

Just a shot in the dark, but given the cumbersome exercise of removing and resetting the mast could that be where the damage occurred? But wouldn’t it have been noticed earlier. The other possibility is that the mast cannot withstand the highly corrosive crap excreted by fruit bats and one was jealous and bombed the mast or was forced into an involuntary voiding of its bowels due to lightning.

Great boat, great videos, thank you so much for letting us participate in your project and adventure! Please do not get hung up on isolated and confused commentaries and viewers. Just ignore and delete them...

Nice cliffhanger but I would have watched the next episode any way. Few comments, I doubt that the boat is old enough to have corrosion and you would see pitting and corrosion over a wider area, that was a stress fracture and the explanation of the high shock stress closes the loop. Will be interesting to see if the modifications hold out or if that shock stress is just really very high. As for the delamination, lightning will leave quite a distinctive charring pattern and there is clearly no charring in the area that can be seen on the cell phone video, it looks like a product failure, I beleive that the carbon fiber sheets are pre impregnated and the way that seperated and some of the carbon looks like tassels, this might have been an area that had a void. This might well be an isolated incident but if it was me on the boat I would wonder just how isolated. The good news is that the tests came back positive so in would appear that it was an isolated product failure. I would be interested to hear what the final diagnosis is but that would be my guess for now with the information available.

Love your dry sense of humor. Can’t wait for the next episode. Take care.

Thank you for the videos ! Very interesting seeing how such a big boat is managed, maintained and enjoyed ! Please more sailing videos in the future...!

Another possible explanation for the damage. It's a section with a lamination bonding defect that was knocked loose by the intense sonic pressure wave caused by the close lightning strike.

This boat is astonishing! I can't wait until all the bugs get worked out and you are ripping her through the water at top speeds. I wish you luck with all the repairs and upgrades.

I see you 🙂Welcome back to Phuket 🌴🌴🌴

This boat is a modern masterpiece. One should ignore the noise and focus on the achievement of getting it built. Never realised before that this boat nearly weights half as its competitor..

Glad you didn't have lightning damage! Your boat looks great, we got a close view in Koh Lipe aboard our cat on the mooring next to you.

Interesting discussion and thanks for the feedback. In South Africa we have a saying that "lions don't snap at flies". I suggest that this should apply to some of the comments you receive. Good sailing!

The youtubers that suffered double demasting during last years Atlantic crossing, suffered for the same reason. Low wind and high seastate. The mast failed due to a motion similar to breaking someone's neck. A sudden jerk in full opposite lock with the weight of the sails up. I think a direct lighting strike would have left far more damage , unless it was an upward strike of the bolt. Discharge from the sea to the clouds.. Love your boat. Engineering marvel
